It's the 50's Calling!

Hi, This is the 1950's calling!

You know, with the imminent nuclear holocaust, Joseph Stalin, the Iron Curtain, the Korean War, Joseph McCarthy, blacklisting, the genesis of the Vietnam War, measles, mumps, polio, Jim Crow, lynchings, segregation, people being put in institutions because of their sexuality, the objectification of women, and second class citizenship for people of color and women, things weren't all that great. Anybody who wasn't part of the norm, anybody who seemed to deviate from standard practices of acceptability was made an outsider...a part of the other. Diversity was not valued. 

I suggest we all look forward rather than back, an Make American Better.
